I experience therefore I am

Most job application criteria require experience apart from formal qualifications. I have wondered why this is necessary especially when someone is applying for the job for the first time? Unless a person has a job, it is impossible to get the necessary experience.  
Philosopher Aristotle compared the mind of an infant to a blank clay tablet, "tabula rasa" on which experiences leave their mark. This could be applied to adults as well because experience is the best teacher in life. Growing up is a journey that we have to undertake every day of our lives and this journey will bring ample opportunities to experience the specific way of life. As we journey this life, our life is a blank clay tablet that has to be written as we experience situations and instances in life. It is important for any one of us to go through this journey as it unfolds. There are bad and good experiences as the consequence of learning, however, the goal of this journey of experience must be a good experience. The majority of people experience good things in life and this is crucial for our growth and for our happiness. 
The experience leads to knowledge and knowledge and not vice versa. Knowledge from the experience helps us to perform and conduct ourselves well. For instance, unless one has experience of heat, one will fail to recognize the fire. Experience teaches us lessons in life; lessons to cope with life and persevere in endeavors. Our mind craves to have positive experiences and rightly so we will have ample opportunities to fulfill this craving. Despite the negative experiences we can choose to embrace only positive experiences because it is in positive experiences we find our happiness. 3
We could experience pain in the form of feelings in the mind. This painful experience will make us resilient towards the specific situation and help us to cope with it. On the other hand, joyful experiences will propel us to strive to stay in that experience and also help us to constantly seek positive experiences in life. This is important for our existence and a form of the coping mechanism of life without which we will find ourselves delusional or psychotic. Experience conditions our behavior in life. For instance, a criminal commits a crime due to his past experiences of life and most criminals have a negative experience in their early life. 
We experience there we exist and if not for the experience we would be fish out of water. This is one of the important reasons why employers look for experience from the candidates of job. Basically, employers are seeking the knowledge they gained from the experience at the job. It is crucial that we gain as much experience as possible in our everyday lives. Let us strive to experience so that we can cope with life and learn traits of life. 

Wisdom

Have you wondered like me what is wisdom? Where does the wisdom come from? There have been many attempts to understand wisdom both at a theoretical and practical level. Either way, humans have ventured to address this virtue or concept by applying the finest mythological and scriptural references. 

I would like to begin with an example what it means to be wise in a real world. A happily married spouse is attracted towards another person, which perfectly normal because of flesh and blood but if the same spouse gives into temptation towards another person, then it will lead to infidelity to one's own loving spouse. This is the recipe for the breakdown in the relationship. 

In the above practical example, we see the dichotomy in a human mind and heart. On the one hand, we have basic human needs which could animalistic or even irrational. This can be detrimental if not executed in a proper manner. This basic human instinct is necessary for the survival of humanity on the face of the Earth. On the other hand, humans have to be rational or act properly in everything that we do. This is the dichotomy and dilemma in humans. We have to wise to make proper and life-giving decisions. These decisions will impact not only loved ones but our own inner life. 

We have our own human will which given and nurtured by various means of formation. Human will is free will but we are expected to tame and direct it in a proper direction. In order to do this, we need an external monitor to match or mismatch our free will. Hence, God's will becomes this external monitor to guide us. The dot that connects the will of God and human will is wisdom. Wisdom requires both, will of God and human will. If we separate these two, we might either become eccentric or narcissist. 

In this contemporary world, we are faced with a new reality of separation of the will of God and human will. This separation leads to unwise decisions which then leads the world into delusion and disaster. It is absolutely crucial to connect the two so that we can decide with wisdom. I called it as the will of God because of I am a spiritual person but for those of you don't want to associate with God, you can just apply conscience as the will of God. I believe that conscience is the sanctuary of rational and proper will.
